Laboratory characterization of cold mix treated with bitumen emulsion

An emulsion treated gravel (GE 0/14) with a residual bitumen content of 4.5% was implemented on a French experimental work site in October 2006. Loose jobsite materials and samples manufactured in laboratory with materials (aggregates and emulsion) coming from the work site have been characterized. Traditional tests used in the French hot mix design methodology as well as more specific techniques such as triaxial apparatus for cyclic loadings, used to assess mechanical characteristic of unbound granular materials, were used. Current normative and also innovating properties linked to implementation behaviour, rheological behaviour and time-dependence (cohesion increase) of emulsion treated gravel are presented.
